- Exchangeable Inserts and Hold-Down Units, installed with thumb screws, allow several plug tray sizes to be dislodged with one machine.
- Available with Manual Foot Treadle or Automatic Air Assist.
- Depth of pin penetration is adjustable.
- The top hold-down cover is designed so the unit does not have to be locked during dislodging. Locking device is optional.
- Pneumatic air cylinders (A) are automatically actuated when the guiding shelf (B) is rotated into position, locking the hold-down rods (C) tightly between rows of cells. This action is controlled by a micro-switch (D).
- Effective hold-down of trays with staggered rows is accomplished by inserting tray under the long rods, which are adjustable for height and side-to-side positioning.
- Model on front page is for trays with straight rows, using shorter rods for hold-down guides.
Another of our Growing Systems’ Plug Dislodgers model is available for taller plant material, such as Tree Seedlings. Effective hold-down of trays with staggered rows is accomplished by inserting the tray under hold-down blades, which are adjustable for height and side-to-side positioning.
Pneumatic air cylinders are actuated by a hand valve. Plated tapered rivets “float” slightly, allowing the tapered end to locate the correct position under the drainage hole.
Aluminum rivets (A) “float” slightly, allowing the tapered end to locate the correct position under the drainage hole.
Holding rods (B) eliminate the need for a Hold-down lid, enabling tall plant material to be dislodged.
All Propagating and Plug Trays should be dislodged before transplanting,
provided all such trays have good mechanically-made drainage holes.
* PROPAGATING AND PLUG TRAYS SHOULD BE DISLODGED
BEFORE TRANSPLANTING, PROVIDED SUCH TRAYS HAVE GOOD
MECHANICALLY-MADE DRAINAGE HOLES.

Check out Vandana Tubeless Seeders.
Our Growing System’s VANDANA TUBELESS SEEDER was developed to handle a large range of seed sizes, from fine seed like Petunia to coarse seed like Melon and Marigold. This Seeder sows the entire tray at one drop, and the operator can visually inspect the seed placement prior to dropping it in the tray!
Seeds are held on the Template with a Variable Vacuum, which adjusts for the size of the seed. A Variable Speed Vibrator is controlled by a Momentary Switch, and helps to move small seed on the Template. A Variable Adjustment accommodates trays or pots from 1″ to 4″ high, and drop patterns are available for direct seeding into all trays, including 1020 sizes, Speedling type trays, or individual pots.
The Seeder Table Top is galvanized sheet metal and has an accessory shelf below, as well as wheels for ease in moving the seeder into the seeding line. A small portable air compressor is required (60-80 psi) to operate the Automatic Air Seed Release and Pneumatic Air Tray-Stop. This is supplied by the customer.
